Not really.  The reason that it doesn't have a lot of the development
tools and stuff is because it isn't really designed for developers.  It's
designed for "illiterate" end-users and therefore only contains the
packages that would be used by the intended end-market.
 
A developer would get a "real" distro like Debian or Slackware :)

But no one answered my question yet.  Does the install have an option to
install from nfs?
